NO! They are not compatible rounds. -Treat every weapon as if it were loaded. -Never shoot ammunition through a weapon that it was not intended for. -Always inspect your UNLOADED firearm for barrel/bore obstructions before firing.
one shoots to improve accuracy. If you shoot 20 rounds and get a good group, why shoot 80 more??????? I have often shot for accuracy firing about 20 rounds. In my opinion the more you shoot the more tired you get. And, when tired you tend to shoot lousy and tend to just shoot the ammo off and go home. Always fire slowly, taking 'good' (SIGHT PICTURE) aim. The only time to shoot fast is when you 'have to'. When you shoot, bring the gun up, sight picture, and squeese off. Don't hold for long periods trying to find a sight picture. You will waiver and not get off a good shot...... like, one, two, three............. You will have to shoot thousands of rounds before affecting the barrel.........
It is designed to shoot .177 Caliber pellets, not BB's. It has a rifled barrel, BB's will ruin the barrel if they are forced to shoot through it.
with the wingmaster barrel you can only shoot lead, but if you change the barrel to a slugster you can shoot slugs and buckshot, they also have a barrel for steel shot to.
Shoot it. Get some decent factory ammo, clean the barrel VERY well, take it out to the range, and shoot it. Once you have a few hundred rounds down it, clean it. Then take it out and shoot it some more. If you're looking to break in a competition barrel, then you do it slowly. It is best done with handloads, slowly increasing to full power loads. Just don't neglect to clean the barrel VERY WELL before you put that first round downrange.
yes.
You can, but, it will not be a good thing.
Shooting rifled slugs is the ONLY way to shoot thru a smoothbore for deer. If you shoot sabot slugs thru a smoothbore, it will not spin and therefore not be accurate. For accuracy, the slug must spin out of the barrel. Either shoot a rifled slug thru a smooth barrel, or shoot a saboted slug thru a rifled barrel.
Yes. No problem
no slugs should on be shot thru a improved cylinder shotgun. if you shoot thru any other choke it can cause the barrel to split
The SKS cartridge (7.62x39) causes little throat erosion. MOST SKSs have a chrome lined barrel (Yugos do not) which extends barrel life, especially with corrosive primed ammo. If the muzzle is undamaged, and normal cleaning followed, barrel life should be somewhere in the 25,000 round range. However, EXTREME rapid fire that heats a barrel to an excessive amount (have sen one set wooden stock on fire) will shorten the life of the weapon. They were never intended to be used that way.
The Browning M1919 can keep firing until the barrel overheats. It depends on how long the bandolier is, since it's fed that way. If overheated, it can't shoot and the barrel needs to be replaced.
